f Rotarians Hear
: Commander of AF
Fighier Croup
In case of war, lighter pilots
from Kingsley Field, Klamath
Falls, will be dedicated to the
' job of intercepting enemy
planes. If rockets and ammu
nition are exhausted, the in
vaders will be rammed.
This statement was made
here Tuesday by Col. Edwin
Witzenburger, commander of
the 408th Fighter Group at
the Klamath Falls air base,
in an address before the Med
ford Rotary club at the Rogue
Valley Country club.
Speaking at a luncheon
meeting, Colonel Witzenburg
er devoted a portion of his
remarks to the problem of
sonic booms, explaining how
the shock wpves from the
nose of super-sonic planes
cause the periodical explosion
like sounds which can crack
windows.
"We recognize that these
sonic booms are disturbing to
the public," Colonel Witiien
burger said. "We make every
effort to avoid them by con
ducting simulated intercept
ing exercises at high altitude.
However, pilots concentrate
upon their mission and to
them the job comes first."
Notes Recognition
Bearing out the 408th
Fighter Group's commander's
high regard for the efficiency
and dedication of the flyers.
Colonel Witzenburger pointed
to recent recognition given
the Klamath Falls-based fight
er group in competition with
similar units throughout the
nation.
To explain the type of
fighter planes operating from
Kingsley Field the speaker
showed a film released by
Hughes Aircraft Corporation
showing the Voodoo long
range interceptor in action.
This plane, considered a
"complete weapons system,"
has exceptional speed, ex
treme range, great fire-power
and high safety factors. In
1957 this plane established
the world's speed record with
1.207 miles per hour and since
set. among other records, the
transcontinental, trans-Atlantic
and trans -Pacific speed
records.

Gregory F. - He should
start the psychoanalysis.
Leonard W. - I'll muddle
through by myself.
Gregory F. - My cousin is
40, very depressed, stuck in
a job he hates, and has no
social life. Unmarried, he's
ill at ease now among his old
friends and seems unable to
make new ones. He's bright
and even started to study for
a Ph.D., but that dragged on
and now I think it's at a
standstill. I managed to get
him to my doctor who advises
psychoanalysis, but Leonard
won't try it.
Leonard W. - People I've
seen who've been "analyzed"
seem no better off and a lot
poorer in the pocketbook. The
psychiatrist is like a crutch
to one chap I know who has
been going for 11 years. Greg
and his wife are trying to help
me, but I feel I must pull my
self up alone. All I need is the
courage to quit my job and
get on in my field of study,
geology. A doctor can't do it
for me.
...
The Council - No one will
argue. Leonard, the psycho
analysts ' cure'' every patient,
any more than that every phy
sician ends the woes of every
paticiit. But, praise to Hip
pocrates, they try. Evidently
Greg's doctor recognizes a
neurotic block holding you
back, weighing you down.
There's a chance that you can
chip away at it yourself, but
it could take another 40 years
to reach the core alone. As
the Pennsylvania Dutch put
it, "Ve get old so fast and
shmart so slow." ... Do give
analysis a try. The skill of the
expert can burrow deep and
accurately to excise the bugs
that sap your joy. Probing
alone, you waste lime, motion,
and worst of all, c-motion
which is the spur to action . . .
As to the horrible examples
you've seen, ask yourself if
they'd really have been bet
ter off without analysis Most
of them would be "sad sacks'"
no matter what. Their analy
sis, let's say. permits them to
be less sad and to carry on.

The Medical
Weight Reduction by Fasting
Four Philadelphia doctors
recently reported in the Jour
nal of the A.M.A. that they
had had good
results in the
cases of 50
persons who
were chroni
cally over
weight (intrac
table obesity),
by having the
persons eat
nothing for
,uvarei periods of
from four to 14 days. The doc
tors say that persons who are
taking no food soon develop
changes in their blood which
take away their appetite, and
hence they do not then suffer
from the fasting.
A person who is not taking
any food should lose 2Vi
pounds a day. Every so often
he or she can go back onto
either a full diet or a reduc
tion diet. During the fast, non
nutritious fluids are allowed,
and also vitamins.

A person should not exer
cise during a fast, and should
preferably be in a hospital,
where the doctor can check
on his or her progress. In the
Philadelphia study, as a rule,
appetite was lost after the
first day of fasting. The pa
tients said that they felt well
during the fast. After quite a
bit of weight has been taken
off, tile person every so often
will go on a new fast which
.lasts one or two days.
Antihislaminie Drugs
Can Do Harm
People should remember
that the a n t i h i s t aminics,
which are now dispensed to
thousands of patients in an
attempt -to relieve allergic
troubles, can do harm, accord
ing to Drs. P. E. Siegler, Tibor
Body, Yolanda Mapp and J.
H. Nodine. "We cannot say
definitely that an antihista
minic drug is unable to pro
duce harmful and toxic side
effects." The reactions to antihista
mines which have been seen
range from slight complaints
to very serious ones. A person
may be highly sensitive to
the drug that was prescribed
for him, and as a result, he
can get temporary damage to
his blood, or he may even get
troublesome allergic respons
es. Fortunately, in most cases,
if the coming of a side-effect
is quickly recognized for what
it is. and the use of the drug
is then stopped, the person
will, recover completely. As
the doctors say, "We must re
member that all potent medi
cines have side-effects and
toxic effects."
Hundreds of people ask if
Ihcre is not some medicine
that will dissolve gallstones.
In his booklet, "Gallstones
and Gallbladder Disease." Dr.
Alavarez says there is not. If
you want information on this
subject, send 25 cents and a

Heavy Truck Tax
Break Becomes Law
Salem - WH - A $500,000
tax break for heavy trucks
was signed into law Tuesday
by Gov. Mark Hatfield.
The hill adjusts the weight
mile taxes paid by trucks, and
also increases the optional flat
lee used mostly by log truck
ers. Hatfield vetoed a similar
bill two years aco. but sup
ported this one when the llli-
I nois Road Tests showed heavy
I trucks were paying more than
their share.
The measure raises weight-
mile highway use fees slightly
I for lighter trucks.

Inventions Part III
Patent Office Officials Fail To Be
Surprised
By HARRY FERGUSON
Washington-iUPU-A favorite
story at the U.S. Patent Office
is about the man who walked
in, put a sliver of wood on
the desk and said he wanted
a patent on the toothpick.
He didn't get it because of a
special provision in the patent
laws. You cannot obtain a
patent on something that has
been publicly described in a
newspaper, a magazine or a
book. The toothpick has been
described so many times that
a patent never has been issued
on it and never will be.
But if you can come up
with some variation on the
toothpick, you can get a
patent, and there is one on
the market now. H is de
scribed as a "tooth space
cleanser and gum massagcr".
You dampen the piece of
wood, stick it between your
teeth and massage the gums.
Patent Office officials long
ago ceased to be surprised at
the things people invent. It is
not the function of the office
to pass on the economic po
tential of an invention, but
merely to determine whether

and hits the fly on the wall.
-A grapefruit shield. It is a
plastic shield which is placed
over the sliced half of a

smaller than the grapefruit to
allow a person to use a spoon.
When the juice flies up, it hits
the shield instead of going into

An inventor frequently is a
poor judge of the potential of
what he has made. Joseph F.

parently had no great hopes
when he received patent No.
157.124 in 1874 for something
he described as "an improve

had invented was barbed wire
and the ranchers on the Plains
bought it as fast as it could be

People were so unimpressed
that Howe did not bother to

Four years later Howe re
